Great job Tom , I admire your patience , looking forward to seeing it on your layout.

Jan,

Thank you, much appreciate you coming by. This hobby is all about patience. Especially when doing something like this removal.

Phew...you missed your calling. You would have made an excellent surgeon!!


John

John,

Great to see you my friend. Cutting was no issue and I'm happy to have not had to suture any areas afterwards.

Tom 

[ACL1504]

WOW!     I'm sure glad I didn't have to watch that process in real time!  I'd have been like Fred Sanford "Oh Lordy! This is the big one! I'm coming to join you Elizabeth!  This is it!"   

Nice job!

Bob,

Sorry, but I needed to do this so I didn't have to give it back.     It was much easier than I expected which was a blessing. It could have been the big one a Fred Sanford used to say!

Today I finished adding the pink foam base to the rest of the area just north of the roundhouse. The area was cleaned.





More in a few.

[ACL1504]

The foam was place over the area and trimmed to fit.



Fast forward and the foam was glued in place, the 2 ply cardboard was cut to fit and glued in place on top of the foam. Not shown to save ya'll from being bored as I was doing it however necessary.

Moscone's Bail Bonds and The Watcher Apartments were positioned.

The three foot long aluminum was used to make sure the sidewalks were aligned with the ones on the other side of the road.



More in a few.

[ACL1504]

The street concrete (2 ply cardboard) was cut to fit around the track. A 1 ply piece of cardboard was cut to fit between the rails. This is just a little lower than the rails.



I used this "see through" car to make sure the flanges with between the rail and cardboard.

No problems as the car runs very smoothly through the area.

[ACL1504]

There will be small alley way between the two buildings.




More tomorrow.

[Mark Dalrymple]

Great progress, Tom.  You've got up a nice head of steam!

I like that alleyway - that will add some nice drama to the scene.  Also like that see-through car - what a great idea.

Cheers, Mark.

[Judge]

The alleyway will no doubt be the scene of nefarious criminal activity - on account of its proximity to the bail bondsman's office, which is conveniently located next to the courthouse/jail.  Local criminals tend to frequent such places.  The alleyway will soon be included in one of the stories included in the Saturday Report.

I'm looking forward to see where the Judge's Quarters end up.  Presumably hizzoner won't want to work so close to the courthouse and its criminal element.

Regarding the Judge's remarks............... Tom........ you need to create a derelict looking person that represents yourself and put it in the alley.  We will be able to pick the guy out... it's the one with a diet pepsi can in his hand.

see ya

...It's the one with a diet pepsi can in his hand. ...

Unless Tom keeps it hidden in a brown paper bag...

Mark, Cheers,

Thank you. Everything is going smoothly now. I like the new me for now.

The alleyway will make a great scene for some of Tahope's finest citizens. I'm sure the police will be involved as well.

Bill,

I can only imagine what will come it the story. In fact, this has the potential for several stories.
